Opinions on how to support justice in Birmingham and integration efforts
Reacting to a Sophian request that “all those in sympathy with the recent crisis in Birmingham wear a black armband or ribbon beginning Sunday and until the crisis is resolved”, students argued for and against the efficacy of demonstrating support and making an impact on national race issues in that way.
